Laura had her first big sleepover today to celebrate her sixth birthday. We invited eight girls and all of them were able to attend along with another friend. The girls arrived at 6 pm and the fun and craziness ensued! It was a GREAT evening and the girls were all awesome. It was a fun night of playing, pizza, presents, cupcakes and ice cream, Wuggle Pets, glow sticks, and movies. There was a little bit of sleep in there too! Andy had originally said he was going to take John and go out for the night, but he ended up staying and helping me. I was very thankful and John had a lot of fun too. The absolute best part of the evening was watching and listening to Laura have the time of her life! She was so happy and it was worth every minute of that time. Now on to pictures!
All the girls…
We got Wuggle Pets for all the girls. This is them standing in line waiting to make their pets (I took this picture and then helped Andy make them.)
One of the girls brought glow sticks to the party. After all the girls were in their pajamas, they had a fantastic time running around the driveway! They were sword fighting and having “team” meetings based on the color of the glow stick. It was good times!
After all the excitement, it was time to settle in for a movie or two. First up was “The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl.” This is all the girls ready to watch movie #1.
After the second movie, I turned out the lights. It was about 12:30 and five of the girls were still awake. Yes, Laura was one of those girls. I woke up about 6:30 am and quietly wandered downstairs to a pile of sleeping girls.
I think all the girls (and two parents!) were tired on Saturday morning, but I know that they all had a lot of fun. I think we’ll be doing this again next year!
